    MG - enjoy tea with Mr Big and his "chums", how exciting that he's coming, and making you step out of your comfort zone straight away, by doing the presentation! Typical Mr Big..... :):) Hello Sir!

    Sorry to the people who've asked for CV help, I have read your posts and whilst I've not yet responded or PMed you directly, I am happy to have a look and see if I can help in any way. I'll re-read the last 5-10 pages tomorrow and make notes on who I need to chat to, so bear with me, I want to pay forward some of the fabulous help I've been given and I love words :)

    I've been really busy having fun with DD and friends and a bit preoccupied this weekend as it would have been my wedding anniversary had the baa-lamb not burgered off before even a year passed, ho hum :(

    I've also spent aaaaages writing up my first real science homework. I have no idea whether it'll be remotely good enough, and I think I'm bound to have missed something out or could expand on some of the paragraphs, but as it's already 4 pages long, I'm going to take a look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow and see whether I like it then. Troglodyte has also kindly offered help, so I've PMd :)

    Hugs to all, night!
  • Kittikins I have sent you an email.

    Night everyone - onwards and upwards tomorrow!
  • Hi all

    MG - all the best for tomorrow - I am sure you will do brilliantly! What a fantastic launch pad!!

    My business idea is to be a life coach - specifically focusing on self esteem. I am also skilled at CVs etc so anyone interested in helping me with that or being helped along those lines let me know....

    I agree with Mr Big's latest challenge re 9-5 altho interestingly I took my current job because it supports my long term goals and my thought was it would free me up to do some coaching in my 5-9 period...

    I have spent the afternoon reading "the secret" and using MG's book as a guide to mind map my perfect week (and the housework challenge to get the rest of the family to help out more freeing up my time). I also agree with not wasting your time on non-value adding or non-core work.... That's my excuse for having a cleaner 3.5 hours per week while I work full time. I would love to employ her or someone similar twice a week that would really make a difference.... Hopefully one day soon hey?!
